NIGERIA

Divided by Language

Divided by Beliefs

Divided by Mountains

Divided by Rivers

Divided we stand

United we still stand

-THE NORTH

beautiful land

dessert sands and serene grasslands

hills and mountains

they stand tall as bamboos

and welcome us all

with their Nunu

land of people most hospitable

most kind! yet still suspicious

I salute you!

-THE WEST

Home of Legends most Profound

glorious tales of battles well fought

children of Oduduwa

darkened and proud

you welcome us with "ewedu"

yours is a glorious heritage

yet still suspicious

-THE MIDDLE BELT

Confluence city

food Basket

Center of our lives

Surrounded by the Niger and the Benue

Igala,Tiv,Idoma,Nupe

you welcome us with Pounded yam

but I do not know where you stand

Are you also suspicious?

-THE EAST

Land of great mysteries

Igbo-Ukwu ..exquisite creations

holding high their values and morals

eater of Kolanut

drinker of palmwine

hard worker! he must never go hungry

long live you!

yet you are the most suspected?

-THE SOUTH

Minor yet mighty

holding the belly of our dear country

yet still starved in our own bounty

oil spillage,deaths and poverty

the most beaten! most unheard

yet we still rejoice

Home of great beauty

food so plenty

home of the "edikaikong"

home of the "banga"

Itsekiri,Isoko,Efik,Ijaw

come let us swim in our Deltas

one day it shall be better

Nigeria the giant of Africa

Indeed?

How great are your children

oppressed by few potbellies

One day we will all be free

Each to his Clan..
